CONFUSING THREATS AND AFFECTION

"You can tell doctor Lemuel that I am ready now!"

I heave out a deep sigh to placate my pulse at Papa's words. He can't scare me like this. I almost thought he was dying given how he all of a sudden fell silent. Gosh! My heart virtually exploded into pieces.

"Do you want to give me a heart attack, Pa? Who will watch over you after the surgery if am not here?" I ask as my heartbeat resumes its normal beating slowly.

"I'm sorry, my dear. I'm so weary of this bed already so let's get this over and done with. Tell them I'm ready."

"Okay. I'll let Lemuel know. I'll be back."

I fling to leave, but he still is clasping my hand captive in his. Actually, they, both of them because ostensively, Damian is caging the other one in his too. I glance between them, signalling that I can't leave my hands with them. Damian lets go, and Papa pats the one he is holding, gives it a peck and whispers...

"I love you, my dear. Whatever happens, be brave, and always know that you meant the world to me!"
